Has LSU learned nothing from Les Miles doing this, call his bluff and let him walk, get a better coach, win championships

AtlantaLSUfan•94 months

THIS!!!

timm6971463•94 months

coaches don't come noe better than Miles !

GWfool•94 months

Teams reflect their coach and it has become apparent in the post-season his teams press and lack some mental toughness our program used to have. Just getting there is not enough.

@Barry "we have finished the season as a national 5 years in a row and we've made it to Omaha more often than not" here's to you being happy for being mediocre in baseball - Cheers

denvertiger•94 months

I keep seeing that word "mediocre". I'm not sure it means what you guys think it means.

GaTiger27•94 months

We can almost hand pick whoever if we really wanted

@Barry "What exactly has been mediocre about our baseball program?" winning 1 CWS game in 7 years

fierysnowman•94 months

That's not mediocre. Any baseball program in America outside of Florida and Vanderbilt would take that any time, any day. You guys do T seem to understand that we're not the only university committed to baseball anymore.

PanhandleTigah•94 months

You just swept by CCU in your house in a Super Regional...probably not a good time to ask for a raise.

theBru•94 months

If he goes, I will feel safer @ the bus stops on campus...

ShlikStyck•94 months

bring back Skip!!!!....oh wait....

DrSteveBrule•94 months

I think PM is a good coach overall, but I wouldn't cry about this. I think his teams have been lacking discipline both on the base paths and hitting which I'm not fond of. His recruiting isn't top notch anymore either. I hate how he refuses to develop more pitchers as well.

cadillac7563•94 months

can't say that I'll miss the hit and run fails

WeeWee•94 months

Bye Feliciana. Oh wait that means Alleva and F'King Alexander get to hire his replacement. Come back Felicia come back!

ToppDogg85•94 months

LOL!!!!!!!

I just hope LSU doesn't offer him a raise because of this. He can go to Texas if he wants that. He has won 1 CWS game in 7 years. There are plenty other coaches out there that can do that at LSU.

Mr. Shankly•94 months

What's sad is, they will. He's not going anywhere. It pains me to say, but LSU has settled for mediocrity in athletics (see cas4t comment below). Alleva is a spineless puppet and King Alex is clueless. I don't expect us to win a NC in every sport every year but I think we should win one or two on a regular basis. At least we can hang our hat on the Intimidator and that we have the best college baseball fans in all the world :rollseyes"

"He has won 1 CWS game in 7 years. There are plenty other coaches out there that can do that at LSU." Ugh, no there aren't "mediocrity in athletics" What exactly has been mediocre about our baseball program?

barry•94 months

I'm not thrilled about how CPM coaches, but it seems to work as we have finished the season as a national 5 years in a row and we've made it to Omaha more often than not. College baseball is just not the same as it was in Skip's era.

Positioning to go after a raise for LSU, he'll look good in burnt orange.

biglego•94 months

I don't hate PM but maybe it's time for something new

Mr. Shankly•94 months

Let him geaux...he's taken this program as far as he can.

cas4t•94 months

To the College World Series....
